Abstract
THE disease of apples (and pears) known as bitter pit manifests itself externally by depressions of the surface of the fruit and internally by patches of discoloured and dead tissue. It is a disease which may make its appearance whilst the fruit still hangs on the tree, or it may declare itself in the fruit-room and even in cold storage.
